January 9, 2026 by Alex Jukes

Stages include Area V where Sara Landry presents Eternalism, Klangkuenstler, Hangar, with the likes of Fantasm, 999999999, I Hate Models, Greenhouse with Robert Hood, Chlär (Live), Yanamaste through to East End Dubs and Patrick Topping, The Terminal featuring Mall Grab, Ben Hemsley, The Lab with emerging Scottish artists and new for 2026, The Block.

Ahead of its return to the Royal Highland Centre & Showground, Edinburgh, on 18–19 April 2026, Terminal V has revealed the stage lineups and day splits for its 2026 edition, alongside a new host of artists that have been added to the line up.

The latest additions include a mix of new school disrupters and legends with Biianco, Natte Vistick, Patrick Topping and Prunk all bringing different flavours of house, trance and techno, while The Lab stage is a dedicated platform for emerging Scottish artists and future-facing sounds with the lineup yet to be announced.

Now firmly established as one of Europe’s leading techno festivals, Terminal V 2026 will welcome over 100 artists across six stages, with 40,000 attendees expected across the weekend.

Each stage is designed with a clear purpose, allowing different parts of the electronic spectrum to exist without compromise, from peak-time headline techno to foundational house, from high-pressure intensity to emerging local voices. Together, the stages form a complete ecosystem where every sound has room to exist properly, and the whole site is steeped in the famously high spec production, light and sound that makes this one of Europe’s leading events.

AREA V is where scale, focus and headline energy come together. The flagship stage returns as the focal point for peak-time techno and on Saturday, Sara Landry brings her UK Festival exclusive of Eternalism, with Clara Cuvé, Novah, Fumi, Adrián Mills and Alex Farell. Sunday sees a powerful close led by Klangkuenstler, alongside Anetha X Patrick Mason, DJ Gigola X ØTTA and Ueberrest and a world exclusive b2b of SPFDJ X Sim0ne.

Expect relentless, high-intensity techno built for pace and endurance at HANGAR. Across both days, this stage delivers uncompromising pressure, featuring artists including 999999999, I Hate Models, Fantasm, Vieze Asbak, Winson and more representing the hardest edge of the Terminal V spectrum.

GREENHOUSE is a stage rooted in history, groove and musicality which on Saturday sees raw, stripped-back techno inspired by the genre’s early forms, with Robert Hood, Chlär (Live), Alarico, Clouds X Tommy Holohan. On Sunday, a shift toward deeply rooted tech house music, led by Patrick Topping, East End Dubs, Traumer, Prunk and La La.

THE TERMINAL is for high-energy sets built for emotional release rather than genre boundaries. Think fast transitions, big moments and no holding back with artists including Mall Grab, Ben Hemsley, Will Atkinson, Morgan Seatree, DJ Gigola, Pegassi and Spray across the weekend.

2026 brings a brand new stage to Terminal V Festival – The Block – with a secret guest lineup – stay tuned.

With a significant site investment and a clearly defined vision across every stage, Terminal V 2026 continues to refine its identity not by expanding aimlessly, but by giving each sound its own space to exist with real narrative and intent.

Ministry of Sound Undergoes Huge Renovation Ahead of 35th Anniversary Year

January 9, 2026 by Alex Jukes

Ministry of Sound is set to undergo the most significant transformation since it opened in 1991. A complete reimagining of sound, space and light in its main room, The Box, will be undertaken throughout January 2026, with programming also stepping up to match the new levels of audio-visual immersion. This news comes as the Ministry enters its 35th year, which is a key milestone in the history of London’s nightlife and the beginning of a new era for the club.

The club will retire its legendary Martin Audio system, long regarded as a global benchmark, making way for a brand-new, custom four-point KV2 sound system consisting of KV2’s SL412 tops with a combination of VHD2.21 and VHD2.16 subs. This all promises a more powerful, immersive and detailed listening experience, setting a new standard for club sound in 2026 and beyond.

“KV2 Audio continues to set the benchmark for high-performance club sound. This installation represents a truly world-class system — one that honours the legacy of Ministry of Sound while pushing the experience firmly into the future” Louis Jemmott – Director, Patchwork London

Elsewhere, the DJ booth will be lowered into the crowd and rebuilt as a modular structure, allowing for multiple stage formats, including 360-degree setups. It will be backed by an all new elevated backstage area surrounding the new DJ booth, and capacity will also increase by approximately 200 people, entirely reshaping both the energy and flow of the room.

Visually, the main room undergoes a dramatic evolution with a 9㎡ state-of-the-art overhead light installation and an all new video and lighting design by renowned design studio Lucid Creates, who’ve created stages and large-scale installations for the likes of Pacha Ibiza, Glastonbury and Boomtown. The vast, multi-layered metal structure suspended above the dancefloor combines reflective frameworks, integrated video screens and Lucid’s bespoke LED bar technology that will create a constantly evolving visual experience.

“To ensure the design feels cutting-edge whilst still retaining its edge, we’ve leant heavily into industrial textures and forms to inform the overall look of the space – steering away from an overly clean, overly manicured aesthetic. The result is something that will still feel distinctively ‘The Box’ but in a really interesting and imaginative way.”

Chris Carr, Founder of Lucid Creates.

The Box sets the tone for a bold new chapter with two huge reopening parties at the end of Jan with &friends’ vocal-led Afro-house sitting alongside Moeaike’s deep, percussive selections and Joezi’s soulful take on the genre on Fri 30 Jan.

Sat 31 Jan sees a high-profile back-to-back from Pete Tong and Kölsch, bringing together one of dance music’s most influential broadcasters and the Danish producer known for his emotive, big-room techno, joined by Lauren Lo Sung and Jansons, who add a refined, modern approach to house music.

“The redesign will fully transform the room into a future-facing club space while preserving its industrial spirit. The Box has always set benchmarks, particularly around sound, and this renovation allows us to reset that standard for the next generation to continue evolving the space without losing its identity.” Matt Long – Club Director, Ministry of Sound

The refurb shows Ministry of Sound’s ongoing commitment to innovation on all fronts, from production to programming and in-club experience. It’s comes as the venue embarks on the beginning of a year-long celebration to mark 35 years with a series of special shows featuring heavyweight artists such as Todd Terje, Ron Trent, Joe Claussell, Lauren Lo Sung, Eats Everything, Tony Humphries, Fiorella, Pete Tong, Kölsch, Kele Le Roc and Konstantin Sibold,reflecting the club’s enduring influence on the city’s musical identity and sonic legacy, which continues to be the blueprint for club culture across the globe.

The next chapter of Ministry of Sound begins January 2026. Tickets for the Re-opening weekend and full programme details are available at: ministryofsound.com

Armin van Buuren brings his globally recognised trance-led approach, while Dimitri Vegas and ALOK represent festival-scale electronic and melodic house influences. Deeper and more atmospheric tones come from Mahmut Orhan, while the harder end of the programme is covered by Italian techno duo 999999999 and ground-breaking Japanese DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, who is known for high-tempo, multi-genre and rave-influenced sets with an energy unlike any other.

A week of open Air Parties announced for the Rio Carnival in Brazil with BOMA

December 18, 2025 by Alex Jukes

https://www.instagram.com/weare_boma/

The week long series of events feature the likes of Jamie Jones, Black Coffee, Mochakk, ARTBAT, CamelPhat, Carlita, LP Giobbi, Vintage Culture and more…

TICKETS

During Carnival, Rio de Janeiro has always been a global magnet. In 2026, BOMA turns that gravitational force into a new epicenter for electronic music culture.

The Brazilian cultural platform announces its most ambitious Carnival program to date, returning to Rio de Janeiro with six nights of curated experiences at the Museu do Amanhã — the most visited museum in Latin America and one of the most iconic architectural landmarks in the world.

Designed by Santiago Calatrava and set against Guanabara Bay, the museum once again becomes more than a venue. It becomes a symbol: a meeting point between Brazil’s ancestral celebration of freedom and the future-facing language of global electronic music.

Born from the desire to create the experience its founders wanted to live, BOMA — Born Of Music Addiction — has evolved from a party into a cultural platform operating at the intersection of sound, art, fashion and contemporary behavior. Its approach goes beyond line-ups. It’s about how music occupies space, how people move together, and how collective memory is built on the dancefloor.

Guided by four pillars — outstanding experience, desirable line-up, loyal community and cultural tastemaking — BOMA has established itself as one of the most respected boutique platforms in Brazil, occupying architecturally and culturally significant locations and curating experiences where sound, space and identity are inseparable.

Carnival is where this vision reaches its full scale.

The journey begins on February 13, with Jamie Jones opening the week alongside Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami, Miguelle & Tons and GIU. The night sets the tone for what follows: a meeting point between global house culture and BOMA’s signature sense of flow, progression and collective energy.

Tickets

On February 14, Black Coffee returns to BOMA to lead a night dedicated to afro-house, groove and rhythmic sophistication. Joined by Carlita, Ahmed Spins, Bhaskar, Jackson, Malive and Unfazed, the evening highlights the genre’s deep roots and contemporary evolution, echoing the global pulse of dance music today.

Tickets

February 16 brings together Mochakk and Dennis Cruz, with a special Bob Moses (club set) performance, plus OsGemeos and Halfcab. It’s one of the most anticipated line-ups of the season — a dialogue between generations, where new-school energy meets old-school sensibility inside one of the most striking spaces in the city.

Tickets

On February 17, the Museu do Amanhã is taken over by ARTBAT and CamelPhat, joined by special guest LP Giobbi, alongside Departamento and Tato. The night is built around powerful, melodic and cinematic mainstage sounds, turning the museum into a widescreen dancefloor framed by architecture and light.

Tickets

The celebration peaks on February 20 with Vintage Culture, accompanied by WhoMadeWho (hybrid DJ set), Omri, Eli Iwasa and Doozie. Known as “Champions Friday”, the date coincides with the announcement of the winning samba school of Rio’s parades, making it one of the most emotionally charged moments of Carnival — where Brazil’s global electronic voice meets its most iconic cultural ritual.

Tickets

The journey closes on February 21 with a collaboration with Dawn Patrol, featuring hosts Maz and Antdot, inviting special guest Kölsch, alongside Riascode and Bakka. Guiding the crowd into sunrise, the final chapter unfolds as one of BOMA’s most celebrated rituals — a moment of release, connection and collective reset.

Tickets

BOMA’s presence in Rio during Carnival is now a tradition. Over the years, the platform has transformed its city editions into a cultural landmark, attracting audiences from Brazil and abroad while blending music, design, artistic interventions and sensorial experiences.

What began as a platform driven by creativity and community has evolved into one of the defining forces of contemporary Carnival, proving that electronic music has a central place in the country’s most important cultural moment.

In 2026, BOMA elevates this legacy with its most ambitious programming yet, reaffirming its role as a leading creative voice in Brazil’s electronic scene — and as a cultural bridge between local identity and global influence.

We are BOMA.
Born of Music Addiction.

BLOODSTOCK’s Festive Treat – Watch 5 New GOJIRA Live Clips from 2025

January 14, 2026December 13, 2025 by Anna Hyams

Fresh off BLOODSTOCK’s inaugural Winter Gathering, this holiday season BLOODSTOCK gifts metalheads something seriously heavy: five exclusive, newly released, pro-shot videos from GOJIRA’s earth-shaking 2025 headline performance, individually re-engineered with the band’s sound engineer to create the best and heaviest listening experience possible. Dropping across the holiday period, these live cuts capture the French titans at full power – a perfect festive binge for fans hungry for riffs.

Your essential festive viewing includes “Stranded,” the groove-driven anthem from their 2016 released Magma opus, which airs first, blazing with the ferocity that made it a modern classic. “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!),” which made waves after the band’s blistering performance during the Paris 2024 Olympic opening ceremony, drops next. “Only Pain” follows, also taken from Magma, and showcases GOJIRA’s signature blend of precision and emotional weight.

Next, the band’s crushing take on “Under The Sun,” performed earlier this year at the special Back To The Beginning celebration, delivers a bold, sludgy tribute to the iconic Black Sabbath. Finally, “The Gift Of Guilt,” the soaring, cathartic fan favourite from their 2012 critically acclaimed album L’Enfant Sauvage, wraps up the year with the kind of emotional punch only GOJIRA can deliver.
